FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions:

Start Here:

Artists Guild of America has been designing and producing original works of ART that are individually painted by our studio artists in Los Angeles, California. Yes... Made in the USA!

Each canvas is painted entirely by hand by one studio Artist from start to finish! No two will ever be alike!

We use 100% acrylic paints. (Oil paints tend to loose their color tones and become 'muddy' when mixed with other paints and materials.) We add heavy textures and thick strokes of paint to most of our pieces, and also apply sand, decoupage tissue, crackle, foils, and other unique elements to create depth & dimension.

What is a Giclee?

Giclees are printed on a cotton/poly blend canvas with high density archival inks and hand embellished with water based brushstrokes of acrylic paints or a textured gel coating. All images are proprietary (registered copyrights owned by the Artists Guild of America) and designed & developed by our studio Artists.

How can i Track my order once it has shipped?

Using the PRO#/Tracking Emailed to you with your invoice visit the appropiate carrier below to follow your shipment

Each canvas is finished with a clear acrylic sealer. Wipe with a damp doth to remove dust and particles. You can even customize your canvas and add your own brushstrokes of paint if you Wish! (Small tubes of acrylic paint are available at your local craft store.)

What if I receive a loose piece or dented canvas?

We use 100% cotton canvas. Any Art on canvas may tend to loosen over time in extreme humidity, heat, or cold. If this occurs or an object happens to press into the front or back of the canvas causing an indention, simply spray water on the back of the canvas and the canvas will tighten in a matter of minutes.

What if I receive a piece with significant damage?

Please email or call us and we will address your concern as promptly as possible.

We are green!

Our paints are water based and we use cotton canvas instead of petroleum based polyester blends.
